AMENDMENT OF THE AMATEUR SERVICE RULES GOVERNING QUALIFYING EXAMINATION 
SYSTEMS AND OTHER MATTERS.   Adopted rule changes to Part 97 of the 
Commission's Rules regarding amateur examination and permitted emission 
type. (Dkt No.  09-209 RM-11625 12-283 RM-11629 ). Action by:  the 
Commission. Adopted:  06/05/2014 by R&O. (FCC No. 14-74).  WTB

===========================
===========================

Today the FCC has ruled in favor of granting all previous expired License 
Class credit without retesting.

As long as you hold any current Amateur ticket, you may upgrade without 
further examination to General Class, (providing you can show proof you ever 
held a General, Advanced, or <Mar. 21, 1987 Tech+) and you can get your 
Extra back if you ever had one before. (Novice tickets are not discussed.)

In effect, this is lifetime Credit for all written Elements ever passed. 
(Note: this is not the same as a lifetime license some are confusing terms 
with.)

Since the FCC no longer issues Advanced Class Licenses, former holders of 
these will only get General Class credit.

I provide authentic, Certified Callbook proof of previous License Class that 
the FCC ruling directs VE's to accept to grant the automatic upgrade.

This is the biggest change in the ARS since the code requirement was 
dropped.
